At top, at the left of the little icons row (icons representing social networks and RSS).

And will it also work while browsing the forums now, or is that next on the website to-do list?

A very quick message to inform that my XK-1A dev kit and SparkFun Sensor Kit v2 have arrived already. Having literally arrived on my desk a matter of hours ago I've not had the chance to even have much of a look, certainly not a chance to play just yet. Despite this, I wanted to post this as a quick thank you to Paul, XCore and XMOS for running the XCore Parcel and the fantastic prize!

Now, to think of an interesting project! ;)

NEW UPDATE - 10/08/2011 - PHALT
I've updated the pass the parcel system so that the XCorebot alerts me to "loops" created when people pass between them too often and disqualifies them from winning parcels - you're all brilliant people so I'm sure any alerts I get would be an accident, but I've put it in place just in case spammers try to capitalise on it.

Genius idea, what-what!

For some reason I had a watch on this thread, lol.
